[edit] Plot
Template:Spoilers A year has passed since the first Wayne's World. Wayne has moved out of his parents' house and broadcasts his public-access cable show from an abandoned doll factory. Garth is also finding independent life interesting as he meets Honey Hornée while doing his own laundry. One night, Jim Morrison visits Wayne in a dream and tells him to put on a rock festival. Wayne and Garth travel to England to find Del Preston, a fictional roadie. Wayne calls the festival "Waynestock", a parody of the Woodstock Festival. As all this is happening, Cassandra is slowly being convinced by Bobby Cahn to move to Los Angeles from Aurora, Illinois and later to marry him. While Wayne is busy trying to get Waynestock into shape, Garth is spending more and more time with the new lady in his life.
[edit] Waynestock
In the movie, Waynestock was held in Adlai Stevenson Memorial Park, in Aurora, Illinois. The acts that Wayne booked for Waynestock: Crucial Taunt (Tia Carrere and band), Aerosmith, Rip Taylor, Pearl Jam and Van Halen did eventually show up. Likenesses of Pearl Jam and Van Halen can be seen being escorted out of a limousine-length Mirthmobile by the weird naked Indian.
